Lot of fans are upset with the one year Pezet deal, and I understand that. But let's look at the calls Ryles has made since joining the club.
Gutho and RCG getting moved on immediately got some backlash as well, big call but Ryles was correct. Lot of people didn't like this at the time.
Brought in his own group of players that fit the system he wants to play, might not be big names but they fit the style. Jack Williams Dylan Walker types.
Sean Russell the most hated eel on the roster. Ryles has given him the confidence to be a starter. He's taken that and run with it.
Give this loan with Pezet thing a chance and let's see what else happens around that before throwing all the toys out of the cot.

Haven't felt this confident in a roster heading into next season since 2022. Just keep them healthy please. Results will follow
That's the Parramatta way lol!
Take every opportunity to shoot yourself in both feet.
We using Pezet more then he using us we jabe no 6 and no backup if Moses gets hurt
Broncos actually in the cuck chair watching every game hoping he plays well and doesn't tear his acl again 😂 this is a free swing for us
Yep, great point and that is what doesn't sit right with me. We were not that desperate as though i do not rate Joash at 6 he is ok for the year til Talataina is ready.
But the part about Ryles helping a mate. I mean who knows but there are common threads. Brown hiring, Gasnier being brought in for a little bit, De Belin signing. Links to Dragons. Now Pezet with Anasta. If he keeps going it will undo him quickly.
But i saw someone right he is helping his mate Bellamy. Lol how does Bellamy benefit from this?
So, we are still searching?
What does that say to our juniors who we didn't want Pezet to block (even though it sounds like we tried to block their path with Pezet & failed)?
What does it say to Joash? Who brought more energy & Eels DNA than any player last season?
What impact does it have on the group, who saw DB dropped, a player who had given 9 seasons to this club - and 100% impacted this teams chance of winning - now seeing a player who definitely isnt committed to the club, come for the 5/8th jersey? Not even his natural position.
Pezet is not replacing Hawkins, he is playing first grade, Pezet coming to play backup makes even less sense than this deal.
What are the positives of this? We may win 2-3 more games in 2026, and that is a maybe.
As HKF said, it's not about 2026, we need to be looking further down the looking glass.
We aren't winning a Premiership next season. We are looking at 2027/2028, and it will be in Moses' twighlight years.
Despite opinions on here about DB, we have essentailly replaced him with a player who really doesn't want to be here, who is half the player, and not a 5/8th.
It's very rare that a signing comes with so much risk & so few positives, but only the Eels could nail it.
yes still searching but not committing long term money to a player that might work or might not work. Need to assess Joash and Lorenzo more no need to rush into forcing them to play nrl. Their time will come.
Love your positivity, and like you, trusting Ryles judgement - he has earned that.
But, this looks ridiculous optically & on paper. Very much hope to be wrong.
It's definitely unusual and looks strange but I think Pezet can help us a lot in 2026. Ryles focus shifting a little to win now after that run to end the season.
What. Is. The. Risk!?
There is NO risk. None.
Take a deep breath mate
